A jury in Hartford, Conn., refused on Sept. 16 to convict blogger Hal Turner of charges stemming from online comments he made in 2009 urging others, in response to a new state law, to “take up arms and put down this tyranny by force” and that public officials should “obey the Constitution or die.”

After a lot of talk and visits by a multitude of contractors, our newspaper is taking another step forward.
We are investing in technology that will allow us to eliminate one of the steps in getting the newspaper to you.
For many years, we have been designing the newspaper on computers, then sending those “pages” to a machine that sets them on news-page-sized film.
Then the film is used to make a thin, news-page-sized plate that attaches to the press and imprints the text and images that you see every week.

I was shocked to read in the paper that Randy Ellis had been removed from the budget committee.

I was even more shocked to hear Ron Woody removed him from the committee because he dared to inform the public of a public meeting.

God forbid the people be informed and heard at a public meeting.

Even Mr. Woody admitted that Mr. Ellis served well on the committee except for daring to disagree with Mr. Woody’s tax hike and informing people in his community about the upcoming vote and public hearings.
